Fluid Simulation of Copper Extraction Clarification Tank
The solution flow rate in copper extraction is relatively large,resulting in a larger area occupied by the clarification tank.There fore,it is particularly important to analyze and optimize the flow field in the clarification tank.CFD technology was used to compare and analyze the clarification effects of three types of clarification tanks,namely the straight,L-shaped,and U-shaped ones.The results indicate that the U-shaped clarification tank has better clarification effect and occupies a smaller area.The U-shaped clarification tank is taken as the research object,and CFD technology is used for fluid simulation research.Key research focuses on the influence of the presence or absence of flow deflectors,fences,and the number of fences on the fluid.The effects of different fluid velocities and particle sizes on two-phase separation in a clarification tank were compared.
